I’d love if there was a Gravatar-style thing you could choose hexes like these to display as a digital badge. Even better if it was self-hosted.

A little of this, a little of that…I may also have a problem… >_>;

I added the bookmarklet to my bookmarks bar so it’s pretty easy to just navigate to the releases page on github and hit the button. I change the “visibility” setting to “show in its category” so things stay in their lanes rather than all go in a communal main feed but otherwise leave it as default.

I did have to add some filters to the categories so it wouldn’t flag all the -dev/-rc releases but that’s it. The filters that work for me are:

intitle:prototype-
intitle:-build-number
intitle:rc5
intitle:rc6
intitle:rc7
intitle:rc8
intitle:rc9
intitle:-dev.
intitle:Beta
intitle:preview-
intitle:rc1
intitle:rc2
intitle:rc3
intitle:rc4
intitle:"Release Candidate"
intitle:Alpha
intitle:-rc
intitle:-alpha
intitle:-beta
intitle:develop-
intitle:"Development release"
intitle:Pre-Release

140 running containers and 33 stopped (that I spin up sometimes for specific tasks or testing new things), so 173 total on Unraid. I have them gouped into:

• 118 Auto-updates (low chance of breaking updates or non-critical service that only I would notice if it breaks)
• 55 Manual-updates (either it’s family-facing e.g. Jellyfin, or it’s got a high chance of breaking updates, or it updates very infrequently so I want to know when that happens, or it’s something I want to keep particular note of or control over what time it updates e.g. Jellyfin when nobody’s in the middle of watching something)

I subscribe to all their github release pages via FreshRSS and have them grouped into the Auto/Manual categories. Auto takes care of itself and I skim those release notes just to keep aware of any surprises. Manual usually has 1-5 releases each day so I spend 5-20 minutes reading those release notes a bit more closely and updating them as a group, or holding off until I have more bandwidth for troubleshooting if it looks like an involved update.

Since I put anything that might cause me grief if it breaks in the manual group, I can also just not pay attention to the system for a few days and everything keeps humming along. I just end up with a slightly longer manual update list when I come back to it.

The cheekiness of the github page had me smirking, chuckling, and nodding along the whole way. I of course spun this up immediately along with the Home Assistant integration…the number must go up after all.

DumbAssets, part of the DumbWare suite

I think BookLore ticks all your boxes. It has opds as well as kobo syncing. You can also read via the built-in reader on the web to keep things synced. It supports separate libraries so you can keep your textbooks and research papers separate.

It’s being pretty actively developed with new features every few weeks. I’ve been very pleased with it after trying half a dozen other alternatives that were never quite smooth enough.

Haven’t tried it with graphic novels but BookLore is being very actively developed so if it doesn’t already support them it may be a worthy feature request.

Sounds like DumbAssets might work for you.

That’s not too far off what you can do here. https://www.nationstates.net/

There are several decent note apps that strive to replace Google Keep, but they all seem to fall short on the one feature that keeps me on Keep: Reminders. Being able to jot a note and have it pop up later today, on the weekend, or on an arbitrary recurring schedule is the primary use-case for me. Joplin’s come the closest but the reminders were unreliable, and an unreliable reminder is a useless reminder.

There’s also something to be said for the number of clicks/menus/presses it takes to create a note. If it’s meant to be just a quick note when something pops into your head then it’s nice if it doesn’t take more than a click or two to get it down.

One last thing. A feature that I think would greatly enhance adoption would be an option to import existing Keep notes from a Google Takeout into your Simple Notes.

I pitched Redline to my partner as “It’s a racing movie but they cranked the ‘anime’ knob up to 11. It’s great.” They loved it.

Thank you for that link. I found that page to be quite enlightening.
